Wading through custard - latest blood results, please help
I've been treated for an under-active thyroid since 2008 and like loads of you, it slowly dawned on me that my thinning hair/aching joints/brain fog could be linked to it, even though I was on a heft dose of levo. Could someone kindly review my latest blood tests and let me know if I do need to go down

Legs!
I'm nit someone who cries easily or frequently but I've been sobbing on and off since yesterday. I am in so much pain I don't know what to do with myself! Went to the GP earlier to beg for pain relief but after listening to my chest decided I still have an infection and so I can't have strong pain relief

Weaning off Ropinerole
I will never take ropinerole again. I weaned my self from it a few years ago and it was difficult. I restarted it with recurring RLS. I was suffering Augmentation earlier and earlier in the day as early as noon and early afternoon if I sat or would lie down to watch TV. I don't like being reliant on

Interpreting Blood Test Results - Help Needed Please?
Hello, this is the first time I have posted here. I recently visited the doctor due to poor energy levels, achy limbs, dizziness, breathlessness, restless legs etc etc. My GP did loads of blood tests but the only clear red flags were ferritin and Vit D levels. I've been on 400mg of ferrous sulphate

Vaginal suppositories
I have read about women who have used Valium vaginal suppositories for relief from pudendal nerve pain and pelvic floor dysfunction. My OBGYN is not familiar with this type of treatment and I have not been able to get a prescription to try it. I also read from one patient that she inserts a Valium tablet

Change of bowel !
Hi all ! Not messaged for a while , still plodding on , hubby now coming into his 11 month post op and still having trouble with swallowing and dumping . Consultant has referred him for a ‘ swallow’ barium to check the lumen but may need his 8th stretch . My question is apart from the obvious ‘dumping

Spatone Liquid Iron
Wondering if anyone has tried Spatone to give their iron levels a boost? Can you take it with Pred? Am on 12.5 at the moment. I know the Ferrous Sulphate will be a lot stronger but don’t like the side effects, Spatone seems to get a lot of good reviews, find it difficult to make decisions these days

LUNG INVOLEMENT IN CFS/FIBRO
Hi, My name is Nancy and I am new here. Have had fibro/cfs for 30 yrs Things have changed … Now I am having swallowing disorder. Had barium swallow/ manometry...all tests show that my esophagus has little motility. So I cough to the point of going to ER, and prednisone and IV solumedrol help to stop

Aneamia & Ferrous Sulphate
When I became aneamic,I was told to eat iron-rich foods and bloods will be tested again after a month. My own GP is on holiday and I saw a different one this week to ask for a new prescription for Pred. He also gave me a prescription for Ferrous Sulphate 200mg twice daily. I am not sure whether to take

I forgot this yesterday, sorry
Advice time again, do you have to get an MRI? They actually have open machines. it is like going into 2 slices of bread. Wide open on the sides, makes it a little less claustrophobic, still did not work for me, so I went to VALIUM. Take as prescribed and sleep through it, remember not to drive

Trigemina Neuralgia advice.
Not what I would wish on even my ex-wife and I truly do not wish any good for her. The only thing that worked for me was CyberKnife surgery. I believe that they have a number of facilities nationwide. If you can afford it travel and get them to help you, actually if you can't afford it travel anyway

ANXIETY AND HAND TREMORS
I recently began having a sense of inner shakiness and hand tremors, particularly between 4pm and 6pm. ANXIETY feeds off itself so it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. I guess I am realizing that this condition could be forever. Does anyone have the same experience ?My diagosis is is likely PMR/GCA
